Durham, NC shorebirds



Birders,

A quick visit to the Hwy 54 impoundments between Durham and Chapel Hill on
Saturday 26 April failed to locate any Yellow-crowned Night-Herons yet
this year.  However, between those impoundments and the Durham WAter
Treatment Facility on Farrington Rd, I did see the following:

1  Greater Yellowlegs
10 Spotted Sandpipers
8  Solitary Sandpipers
10 Killdeer

Also several Barn and N. Rough-winged Swallows sailing about.  Was
disappointed to hear/see NO migrant (i.e. non-resident) warblers, though
the Prothonotarys were singing at the Little Creek Impoundment.
